Dear friend,

Are you curious or intrigued about the profession of coaching?

Imagine… creating the lifestyle you desire …being your own boss …working from home or anywhere in the world accessible by phone …and helping others get what they want in their lives. Does this sound fulfilling?

These are just a few of the reasons that coaching is one of the world's fastest growing professions with an estimated 30,000+ coaches worldwide. Career and life coaching for Baby Boomers was included as one of the 27 hottest ideas for 2007at Entrepreneur.com.

Sounds Great...Is It Possible to Make a Living as a Coach?

This is one of the most frequent questions asked by prospective coaches. Two separate surveys conducted in 2003 revealed that 9% of coaches were earning $100,000 or more per year. Some coaches make a six-figure income from coaching and related products and services while others coach on a part-time basis to supplement their income.

Is Coaching the Profession for You?

To find out, begin by taking the time to research the profession. Create a list of questions that you have about coaching. Find out what coaches do. Check out the various coach training schools. These are just some of the things that can help you determine whether coaching is a fit for you before starting a business and investing in a coach training program. Training can cost anywhere from $1500 to $10,000+ US for an accredited program.

"The 'How to become a coach' ebook package is loaded with practical and down-to-earth information about the coaching profession. Having done some research myself before finding this ebook, I know this material will save you a lot of time!

It also includes a great step-by-step guide to an ideal career which I absolutely love because it starts with a vision of your lifestyle and takes you from there. It is worth every single penny and I am now happily enrolled in a coach training program."

I’ll Show You How and Where you Can Find the Answers
to Your Questions About Coaching

Almost twelve years ago I was where you are now. I was intrigued by coaching and wondering if it was right for me. I had heard about the profession four years earlier and had visited the Coach U site but didn't join. In early 2000 I heard that the Coaches Training Institute was conducting a training course in town. I called a couple of coaches I had met at a local ICF chapter meeting and asked about the coach training program they had taken. I decided to take the CTI training as it was in-person (and to me a scarier choice than a teleclass).

I absolutely loved the environment and enjoyed coaching my fellow classmates. Soon after the first course Thomas Leonard of Coach U came to town on his Millenium Tour. He gave one flashy, content-filled presentation. I was beginning to doubt my choice of training schools... and I wasn't the only one! I completed the CTI curriculum but didn't sign-up for the certification program. Something felt off.

I began coaching clients and still felt that something was off. Could it be that one-to-one coaching didn't fit my personality type? Was I just not ready? Could this happen to other people? And that is why I wrote this ebook.

I have spent hundreds of hours researching the profession of coaching since 2001. The amount of information was almost overwhelming! And that was a decade ago. It's only gotten worse.

I’ll share with you the answers I found as well as the places that you can find answers to your most pressing questions. I can help you find the answers you're looking for in a fraction of the time you could find them on your own. Think about the time you’ll save by having the How to Become a Coach ebook at your fingertips.

Save Time Getting through the Information Maze

The amount of information available about coaching is expanding rapidly. Let’s take a look at coach training. Currently there are over 400 organizations (and that's a conservative estimate) offering coach training programs. Just over 200 of these coach training programs are accredited by the main coaching associations - and that's just counting programs with at least 100 hours of training! It could take hours upon hours to research these programs.

The How To Become a Coach ebook outlines the difference between accredited and non-accredited programs, shows you where to find these coach training programs, and how to choose the best training program for you.

Many of the free ‘Question and Answer’ or ‘Introduction to Coaching’ teleclasses available are slanted in favour of a particular training program. The How To Become a Coach ebook is completely objective. We are not affiliated with any coach training organizations or coaching association. Since we have no agenda, this allows you to choose the best program for you.

How This Guide Will Benefit You

I created this guide so prospective coaches could:

  1. Make sense of the vast amount of information available on coach training and certification programs and choose the right school for them.
  2. Get an overall picture or view of what becoming a coach entails.
  3. To help you save time during the research process by giving links to essential resources that you need to know about.

Here's What One Master Coach Had to Say About the
"How to Become a Coach" ebook.

"As one of the first Master Certified Coaches in Canada I have many people contact me and ask me questions about the coaching profession.  Sue's ebook provides the answers to many of those questions.  I recommend anyone exploring the profession and deciding whether to become a coach to purchase Sue's ebook for their resource library.  I wish I had a book like this when I first became involved in the coaching profession.  It would have saved me a lot of time."
